Avinash Gangu - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralizing database tables enhances workflow efficiency for ease of use
I was looking for some content as part of a comparison analysis. However, one of the pain points is that it is way too free-flowing. I have to skim through all the security pages to get to the crux of it. I was looking for a table that suggests which facets such services address with proofs of reference from professional conferences. The document is a 63-page read, making it very difficult to navigate without a summary. I was looking for a summary at the start, however, if I have to do it myself, I might as well integrate from AWS Docs and then Informative Exchange. The current document contains a lot of information, which is great, but there needs to be a summary indicating the story's essence. Unless there's a correction, it is not present in the document.

Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This efficient workflow has been particularly helpful."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"The process is now simplified because there won't be maintenance. Usually we can take a snapshot of the number I need. We can automate the backup snapshots and we can restore it very quickly. We get many benefits from the application."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"The product is cheaper than all platforms"
"The tools are very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The most valuable feature is the full lifecycle management, including Anypoint Designer and Exchange, as well as Discofolio API."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool."
"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The API toolkit is the solution's most valuable aspect at this time, for our organization."
 

Cons

"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"There could be enhancements in the product intelligently covering more scenarios to prevent crashes or failures."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"What needs improvement in AWS Database Migration Service is that it lacks a log file validation feature. If the solution could provide more details about a particular transaction, that would be helpful. The stability of AWS Database Migration Service for online CDC records also needs to be improved."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"The solution’s scalability and performance could be improved."
"Sometimes we encounter errors, and the error messages from DMS are very ambiguous and sometimes misleading."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"MuleSoft's release calendar is rather conventional with two major, two minor releases and hotfixes in between. The competition sometimes offer more rapid release cycles and provides improved and new functionality with a faster time-to-market."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"I would like to see some data integration and automation."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"MuleSoft is considered one of the more expensive products in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is the only factor that is challenging."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price, and ten is a low price."
"In terms of pricing, I'd rate it an eight out of ten, considering it's a well-priced solution."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"For Egypt, the product's prices are high, making it a specific problem in one region and not globally."
"AWS Database Migration Service is very inexpensive."
"The pricing can be better and it should be more competitive."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"The product is still very expensive."
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The solution has a high price."
